Totally competent in a broad array of medical disciplines! Great communicator!
Dr. Hall is uniquely outstanding...given that his clinical competence is just the beginning. His ability to listen carefully and intuitively projects an understanding of what he is hearing. Allowing him to follow through with an explanation of the clinical significance of the situation. And then addressing possible intervention options.

Not impressed
Dr Hall listened to me, asked me questions, he explained what he was doing and what he saw in his assessment. He was very kind and respectful to my specific needs medically and mentally too.

I am so grateful to see him.
Excellent communication skills
I appreciate Dr. Hall very much. He truly listens to me and does a great job summarizing each appointment, reiterating our care plan and his team follows through. He is wonderful as my primary care physician. He is helping me identify primary concerns and tackle them as appropriate. He really hears me and when I have needed something outside an appointment he reaches out through his team promptly with Mychart, and it feels like a phone call not texts! I was put in his schedule because insurance changes required a new PCP. I came to him a hot mess of issues straight out of hospital and he has made a real difference in the cohesion of my care. Each visit I feel we are developing an understanding of and relationship with each other about my care plan. Highly recommend!

Dr. Hall took care of my unexpected emergency after coming to the U/U Clinic in Centerville, Utah. This clinic does not provide emergency care, but Dr. Hall was on the scene two minutes after my arrival. I thought I was having a heart attack and after checking my vitals, he referred me to the hospital. He explained why he thought hospitalization was the next step. He took care of me with patience and kindness, After four hours of testing at the hospital, a BP reading of 207, a CAT scan, and an EKG, I ended up with a diagnosis of an anxiety attack, caused by the severe pain I was experiencing. Thank you, Dr. Hall.
Thanks very much
